Brief summary

Himalayas-1 is a randomized, open-label, global, multicenter phase 3 study evaluating whether the combination of rinzimetostat with darolutamide is more effective compared to physician's choice of control; ARPI (darolutamide or enzalutamide) or docetaxel for treating patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who were previously treated with abiraterone acetate. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate superiority in radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) of the investigational arm of rinzimetostat + darolutamide combination versus physician's choice of control: ARPI (darolutamide or enzalutamide) or docetaxel.

Inclusion criteria

* Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without small cell features * Progressive disease in the setting of surgical or medical castration with evidence of disease progression on treatment with abiraterone acetate in the mCSPC setting or first line mCRPC setting is required * Metastatic disease in bone documented on bone scan, or in soft tissue documented on CT/MRI scan * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 * Adequate organ function

Exclusion criteria

* Prior treatment for prostate cancer at any stage with cytotoxic chemotherapy, radioligand therapy (ie, 177Lu -PSMA-617, radium-223), ARPIs including apalutamide, darolutamide, and enzalutamide, PARP monotherapy or other systemic anticancer treatment (approved drugs or experimental compounds such as, antibody therapy, immunotherapy, gene or cell therapy, angiogenesis inhibitors, CDK4/6 inhibitors, PRC2 inhibitors) with the following exceptions: 1. Treatment with first-generation antiandrogen agents (eg, bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide), but must be discontinued prior to the first dose of study medication 2. Docetaxel treatment is allowed for mCSPC, as long as no signs of failure or disease progression occurred during treatment or within 3 months of treatment completion * Any other anticancer therapy (drug or vaccine which does not meet exclusion criterion 1 above) within 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to randomization * Known or suspected brain metastasis or active leptomeningeal disease * Clinically significant cardiovascular disease defined as: * Any medical (including active or clinically significant bacterial, fungal, or viral infection) or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation/behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk of study participation or, in the investigator's judgment, make the patient inappropriate for the study * Active inflammatory gastrointestinal disease, chronic diarrhea, or previous gastric resection or lap-band surgery are excluded

Design outcomes

Primary

Overall Survival (OS)5 yearsOS is defined as time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause
Objective response rate (ORR)Randomization up to ~2 yearsORR is defined as proportion of patients with measurable soft tissue disease at baseline who have a confirmed objective response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)
Duration of Response (DoR)Randomization up to ~2 yearsDOR is defined as time of first response to first documentation of radiographic progression or death, whichever occurs first
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) responseRandomization up to ~2 yearsDefined as the proportion of patients with a confirmed ≥50% and ≥90% decline in PSA from baseline as per the PCWG3 criteria, along with the maximum decline in PSA occurring at any point on study
Time to PSA progressionRandomization up to ~2 yearsMeasured from the start of treatment until criteria for PSA progression are met as per PCWG3
Time to initiation of antineoplastic therapyRandomization up to ~4 yearsTime from randomization to first symptomatic skeletal event (symptomatic bone fractures, spinal cord compression, surgery or radiation to the bone whichever is first)
Time to first symptomatic skeletal eventRandomization up to ~4 yearsTime from randomization to first symptomatic skeletal event (symptomatic bone fractures, spinal cord compression, surgery or radiation to the bone whichever is first) Compare patient reported outcomes (PROs) between the investigational treatment and control arms
Change from baseline in patient reported pain symptoms per Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF)Randomization up to ~4 yearsAnalysis of Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) will be based on the pain severity score (mean of individual BPI-SF items 3, 4, 5 and 6), the pain interference score (the mean of items 9A-9G), and the single BPI-SF Item 3 which asks the patient to rate pain at its worst in the last 24 hours
